 Taken with the Canon Rebel that's not in my profile anymore at the Philadelphia Zoo.

Editing steps? LOL! Let's see if I can remember...

Cropped, a whole bunch of Topaz adjustments (exposure correction, clarity, vibrance, mild contrast pop, detailed and crisp) in varying opacity's and some multiple times. Also a layer of b&w in virtual photographer, and fast fix in photomatic. Then some dodge and burn.

The transformation here is amazing. I'm guessing Topaz has a lot to do with bringing out that detail; I'm definitely going to have to check it out at some point.

Wow, what a difference! A draganized elephant! :) I really like how you managed to bring out all the textures. What were your editing steps?

Wow. I thought it was a cool pic when I opened it, but then I saw the original - this is a magical transformation! Great job bringing out the textures and color, and I really like the look you captured from the elephant!

You have brought this up brilliantly. So much livelier than the original.

It's interesting how metallic the elephant looks now! You certainly eked every last bit of color out in your curves, fantastic transformation.
